PILGRIM  SOCIETY 


In  January,  1820,  certain  citizens  of  Plymouth  were  in- 
corporated under  the  name  of  the  Pilgrim  Society  to  se- 
cure the  erection  of  a  monument  to  ''perpetuate/'  as  its 
act  of  incorporation  reads,  **the  memory  of  the  virtues, 
the  enterprise  and  unparalleled  sufferings  of  their  ances- 
tors who  first  settled  in  that  ancient  town. 

The  property  ot  the  Society  consists  of  Pilgrim  Wharf, 
with  Plymouth  Rock  and  Canopy,  and  adjoining  grounds 
on  Cole's  Hill ;  Pilgrim  Hall  with  its  library,  cabinet 
and  gallery  of  pictures ;  and  the  National  Monument  to 
the  Pilgrims,  with  about  sixteen  acres  of  land  and  a 
caretaker's  house. 

The  income  of  the  Society,  chiefly  derived  from  fees  of 
admission  to  Pilgrim  Hall,  is  devoted  to  the  maintenance 
and  improvement  of  its  property,  the  payment  of  the  cu- 
rator's salary,  and  the  purchase  of  such  books,  pictures, 
and  memorials  as  lend  a  new  and  increasing  interest  to 
Pilgrim  Hall. 

The  library,  which  it  is  the  aim  of  the  Society  to  make 
complete  in  the  department  of  Old  Colony  History,  occu- 
pies an  upper  room  in  the  Hall,  difficult  of  access  and  in- 
adequate in  accommodations.  It  is  the  intention  of  the 
Trustees  to  erect  a  fire-proof  library  annex,  and  all 
future  membership  fees  will  be  added  to  a  fund  set  aside 
for  its  construction. 

Any  person  may  become  a  member  of  the  Society  on 
the  payment  of  five  dollars  to  the  curator  at  the  Hall,  and 
receive  a  steel-plate  diploma,  twenty -three  by  seventeen 
inches  in  size,  one  of  which  may  be  seen  in  the  curator's 
room,  and  a  small  representation  of  which  is  displayed 
on  the  opposite  page  of  this  leaflet. 

No  assessments  or  dues  of  any  kind  are  levied  on  mem- 
bers.

6  Sword  of  Myles  Standish. 

Presented  by  William  Trumbull  Williams,  of  Lebanon,  Conn., 

with  the  following  certificate: 

I,  Ezra  Standish,  of  Bozrah,  in  New  London  County,  Connecticut,  do  certify, 
according  to  my  best  knowledge  and  belief,  that  the  sword  presented  by  Will- 
iam T.  Williams,  of  Lebanon,  in  said  State,  to  the  Pilgrim  Society,  in  Plymouth, 
in  Massachusetts,  was  originally  in  the  Standish  family,  and  was  brought  up 
from  Duxboro'  by  my  great-grandfather,  as  I  have  always  been  informed  (Sam- 
uel Standish),  and  has  ever  been  considered  to  have  been  the  sword  of  Captain 
Myles  Standish,  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  the  Plymouth  Colony,  and  my  ances- 
tor—and I  have  no  reason  to  doubt  the  fact.  Kver  since  ray  remembrance  it  has 
been  in  the  family,  and  has  ever  descended  to  the  oldest  son.  My  cousin,  Lodo- 
wick  Standish,  sold  it  to  said  Williams.  It  was  always  called  the  Ancient 
Sword,  and  was  always  considered  as  a  valuable  relic.  Lodowick  is  gone  to 
Canada.  The  hilt  of  the  sword  is  not  the  same  that  was  on  the  original  sword— 
the  old  hilt  was  larger,  and  was  called  a  basket  hilt.  The  blade  has  on  it  the 
figures  of  the  sun,  moon  and  stars,  and  I  think  the  figures  1149  in  a  circle,  and 
on  the  blade  letters  or  characters  with  which  I  am  unacquainted. 

KzRA  Standish. 
Bozrah,  the  27th  day  of  September,  1824. 

New  London  County,  Bozrah,  27th  September,  1824. 
Ezra  Standish,  aforesaid,  personally  appeared  before  me  and  made  oath  to 
the  truth  of  the  aforesaid  facts. 

Sworn  to  before  me.  William  T.  Williams,  Jus't  Peace.

<<  Inscription  and  History  of  the  Sword  of  flyles  Standish." 

This  sword  is,  without  doubt,  of  ancient  Persian  manufacture,  called  by  the 
Orientals  Dharban,  vis.,  Meteor;  and  the  material  of  which  it  is  made  is  thun- 
derbolt iron.  There  is  not  the  least  doubt  that  this  sword  fell  into  the  hands  of 
the  Saracens  at  the  time  of  the  defeat  of  the  Persion  tyrant  warrior,  Kozoori, 
when  Jerusalem  was  wrenched  from  him  bj'  the  Khalif  Omar  I.,  637.  The  in- 
scriptions and  emblems  show  clearly  the  above  facts.  On  closely  examining 
the  sun  and  moon  engraved  on  the  blade  it  will  be  seen  that  faces  were  en- 
graved inside  the  sun  and  moon,  and  on  closer  exarainatian  of  the  faces  it 
will  be  noticed  that  the  engraver  did  not  intend  to  represent  them  as  human, 
but  lion's  faces.  History  says  that  the  sun,  moon  and  stars  were  worshiped  by 
the  ancient  Persians  as  the  celestial  deities  of  strength  and  power  — the  sun 
predominant,  and  the  lion  the  terrestrial  emblem  of  the  sun,  whose  head,  sur- 
rounded by  his  shaggy  mane,  resembles|the  deity  he  represents. 

The  present  Persian  coat-of-arms  is  derived  from  the  mythology  of  their 
predecessors;  the  sun  rising  on  a  lion's  back,  crowned  with  the  moon  and  with 
a  circle  of  stars  around  her. 

Ancient  swords  and  other  weapons  were  said  to  have  often  been  made  from 
meteoric  iron,  and  it  has  always  been  believed  by  the  ancient  as  well  as  the 
modern  orientals  that  that  material  had  an  invaluable  virtue  of  good  luck  in  it 
and  a  charm  to  its  possessor.  It  is  said  by  Arab  historians  that  the  Prophet 
(Mohammed)  and  his  successors  were  armed  with  Dharban  sworns ;  that  when 
grasped  against  the  enemies  of  the  religion  of  the  faithful  the  warrior  had 
nothing  to  do  but  face  the  enemies— the  sword  would  do  the  destruction.  It  was 
believed  by  them  that  the  virtue  of  the  metal  would  strengthen  them  against 
fatigue  of  the  muscles,  and  charm  their  lives  from  the  attack  and  thrust  of  the 
enemy. 

The  three  inscriptions,  as  seen  on  the  blade  (one  on  the  same  side  with  the 
Persian  emblems,  and  the  other  two  on  the  other  side),  were  engraved  by  the 
Mohammedans,  and  at  a  much  later  period  than  the  Persian  emblems.  They 
are  each  different  in  hand  and  form.  The  first  named  of  the  two  is  the  Me- 
diaeval Cufic. 

The  interpretation  is  :  *' With  peace  God  ruled  His  slaves,  and  with  judgment 
of  His  arm  He  gave  trouble  to  the  valiant  of  the  mighty  courageous"— meaning 
the  wicked.  On  the  reverse  side  of  the  blade  are  the  two  above-mentioned  in- 
scriptions, part  of  one  ofjwhich  only  can  be  deciphered  :  "  In  God  is  all  might." 
The  last  line,  that  resembles  Roman  numerals,  is  not  intended  for  a  date,  as 
one  would  be  led  to  suppose,  but  it  is  of  private  signification,  not  known  to  any- 
body excepting  the  possessor,  who  had  it  engraved.  The  same  with  the  other 
on  the  same  side  with  the  Mediaeval  Cufic.  No  onk  can  decipher  it,  as  this  is 
the  key  to  the  charm,  and  when  once  deciphered  by'anybody  besides  its  real 
owner  it  becomes  as  valueless  as  a  reed.  Before  closing  our  remarks  let  us 
notice  above  the  two  separate  inscriptions;  and  here  we  find  engraved  again  a 
combination  of  circles,  intending  to  represent  fire,  and  a  conical  shaft,  to  re- 
mind one  of  the  meteoric  metal  of  which  the  blade  is  made. 

N.  B.— It  is  not  to  be  wondered  at,  then,  that  European  and  American 
scholars  have  failed  to  decipher  the  above.  Kven  a  medium  Arabic  scholar— 
and  he  more  advanced  than  any  foreign  scholar  in  the  vernacular  languap^e  of 
his  country —  cannot  decipher  all  the  modern  handwritings  without  giving 
an  especial  time  and  hard  study,  the  Arabic  language  being  so  divided  in  itself, 
unlike  any  other  in  the  world.  Anyone  brought  up  in  one  calling  cannot  deci- 
pher the  hands  of  others,  and  it  will  at  once  be  seen  how  difficult  and  impossible 
it  would  be  for  any  professor  or  scholar  to  master  a  language  that  needs  almost 
a  lifetime  to  acquire  it  perfectly. 

Having  endeavored  to  serve  the  owners  of  this  valuable  relic  of  the  past,  in 
giving  a  faithful  interpretation  of  the  inscriptions  thereon, 

I  remain,  with  the  greatest  respect,  their  obedient  servant, 

James  Rosedale.  of  Jerusalem  Holy.
